SunPower to build solar system for Dow Jones (San Jose)
SunPower Corp. will install a high-efficiency solar power system totaling 4.1 megawatts at Dow Jones & Co.'s corporate office in New Jersey, the companies said Monday.
The system from San Jose-based SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWRA) (NASDAQ:SPWRB) will include 3.6 megawatts of elevated solar panels above parking areas and a 522-kilowatt rooftop installation. When completed early next year, the system will be one of the nation's largest solar power installations operating at a corporate site, and is expected to generate the equivalent of 15 percent of current electricity needs for Dow Jones' South Brunswick campus.
"Renewable energy is part of a sustainable business plan for Dow Jones," said Dean DelVecchio, the company's chief information officer and chief administrative officer. "With solar energy, Dow Jones is helping the environment and its business at the same time."
